A smitten folk charm flows through Carrie Ryan‘s new track “Grow Old With You,” channeling a sense of enduring adoration as lush acoustics, twangy guitars, and mellow piano complement her melodic vocal presence. The Cleveland, OH-based artist conveys lasting devotion and love via heartfelt lyricism. “Still the magic in your eyes / How lucky to call you mine,” she sings, admitting “I fell for you, outta the blue” and noting how “our love like a film plays out in my head.” It’s an overall success in songwriting and sincere audible emotion from Ryan, which also features co-writing, production, mixing, and mastering from Steve Collom.
“I fell for you, and honey it’s true,” Ryan lets out during the memorable chorus, attaining a title-touting desire thereafter as the love is described as anything but fleeting. The dreamy piano and hypnotic guitar strums enamor throughout, as do backing vocal additions upon the “magic in your eyes” bridge to the chorus. Acoustic singer-songwriter and soft-rock influences combine with stellar songwriting for a track that’s simultaneously approachable in its serene folk aesthetic and thematically resonating with a yearning for love to never break.
